About this city

Situated around the pristine, deep blue waters of Lake Wononscopomuc, the state's deepest natural lake, Lakeville offers an incredibly serene, high-end country resort lifestyle. Historically originating in the 18th century as a prominent center for iron ore ironworks and mining that supplied early American military cannon production, it later transitioned into a peaceful residential enclave.
